Apple launches new iPad
Apple brought a lot of much-awaited changes to the iPad lineup with the M4 iPad Pro, and if a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is to be believed, Apple next iPad Pro there is more exciting news for Apple fans to be hyped about for the upcoming Apple next iPad Pro. The Apple next iPad Pro may get 2 selfie cameras and an M5 chip, enhancing its capabilities.
One of the most anticipated products is the Apple next iPad Pro, which is expected to surpass its predecessors in both design and functionality.
Reportedly, Apple is making major changes to the selfie camera on the iPad Pro this year. The Cupertino-based tech giant could be adding a second portrait sensor to the latest iPad Pro alongside the existing landscape lens.
In addition to the camera enhancements, the Apple next iPad Pro will likely feature improved processing capabilities.

Why, you ask, could Apple be considering this change? Well, some users weren’t particularly happy when the tech giant decided to switch the selfie camera from the top of the iPad to the side, as it made it awkward for users who used the device for video calls or FaceTime in portrait mode.
This change in design makes the Apple next iPad Pro an exciting option for content creators who rely on high-quality video calls.
Since Apple only changed the orientation last year, the company would not want to reverse course this year, and the addition of a portrait lens alongside the landscape one should potentially help Apple assuage both sides of the selfie camera debate.
Not a lot is known about the M5 iPad Pro apart from the fact that it is likely to be powered by the latest silicon from Apple. In fact, the iPad Pro could be the first Apple device to be powered by the M5 chipset, with the first M5-powered MacBooks likely to launch in the first half of 2026.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had suggested last year that the iPad Pro with the M5 chip could enter mass production in the first half of 2025. The M4 chip-powered iPad Pro was launched in May 2024, and with Apple’s history of updating its iPad Pro models every 18 months or so, the newer models are likely to launch sometime around September or October this year.
With the M5 chip, the Apple next iPad Pro is set to deliver performance that could redefine user expectations.
Prior to that launch, however, Apple will hold its annual iPhone launch event in September where the tech giant is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series with four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
As the launch approaches, enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting more details about the Apple next iPad Pro.
